TH li A.S'I1HI'Rl.4.X' I 3 Christians twisting his face and giving virulence to his speech, yet we never lost sight of a character that is essentially noble. Shylock was a wealthy jew of high rank: if his talk was so much of money, that is because money was his trade. That he had tender and sensitive feelings we know-from his replies to the taunts of Antonio and Bassanio lwho appear very ignoble in their scenes with himl-and in his references to his wife Leah and to his daughter. This Calder made plain: and he handled the old man's momentary triumph and subsequent disgrace in the court- room with skill. His movements and the use of his hands were particularly good: and the Hebraisms in his speech were not over- done. A Fine performance. Strong men do things: Weak men talk about them. Men do less than they ought, unless they do all they can. Success is not an accident. lt comes to the man who does his work a little better than the other fellow. The greatest mistake you can make in this life is to be con- tinually fearing you will make one. A Friendly act, A kindly smile, A helpful word And Life's worth while. NYhen there is nothing more to be said, some fool always says it. It is always better to be silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt about it. If you want work well done, select a busy man-the other kind has no time.
